United Supermarkets recalls mangoes

United Supermarkets officials announced a voluntary recall of Mexican-grown mangoes at their stores Tuesday because of a possible link to salmonella in other parts of the country, they said.

The move is only precautionary but also includes fresh-cut fruit products that include mangoes, according to a news release. The Canadian Food Inspection recalled Mexican-grown, Daniella-brand mangoes with a PLU number of 4959.

“There is no evidence at this time that any products that have come through our stores were contaminated — we are simply taking every precaution in an effort to protect the welfare of our guests,” Tommy Wilkins, director of produce procurement for United Supermarkets, said in a news release. “We anticipate having California-grown mangoes in all our stores later this week.”

The fresh-cut fruit products containing mangoes include:

■10-ounce Season Blend (UPC No. 0-77815-00107-2),

■16-ounce Season Blend (UPC No. 0-77815-00106-5),

■10-ounce Strawberry Kiwi Mango (UPC No. 0-778915-0016-4),

■16-ounce Strawberry Kiwi Mango (UPC No. 0-77815-00115-7),

■10-ounce Mango Spears (UPC No. 0-77815-00117-1).

Salmonella-tainted mangoes have sickened more than 73 people in California, The Associated Press reported. California officials are attempting to identify the brands linked to the foodborne illness, the report said.

United Supermarket patrons can return unused mangoes bought between Aug. 12-28, for a full refund at any United Supermarkets, Market Street or Amigos location.
